The most common reason people find themselves in front of a physiotherapist is because of pain. Pain can arise from a large range of medical conditions or specific injuries and naturally people want to minimise this discomfort as much as possible. Physiotherapy can assist with pain reduction by utilising soft tissue mobilisation, taping or joint manipulation while restoring muscle strength during the various stages of an injury.
